"Oh! I thought you looked familiar! I used to love watching that show!" Liam replies.

"Thanks!" I say.

Then, I notice someone in the corner of my eye. I look over and see Alejandro outside his house on the phone. Shit!

"Who's that?" Liam asks as he notices me watching Alejandro.

"Oh uhm.." I reply hesitantly.

"Is that...Alejandro?" He asks while squinting to get a clearer view.

"Yep.." I say quietly.

"So, he's the one that played you?" Liam asks.

"Yep." I repeat, watching Alejandro.

"Well anyways, forget about him, you have me now." Liam says, holding my hands.

"Thanks." I say, smiling.

"Let's go back and order some food." Liam suggests.

"Yeah, let's go." I say as we get up and begin walking home.

Alejandro's pov:

I was outside on the phone when I spotted someone familiar sat on a bench...Heather? Who was she with? A guy? Hm..am I jealous? No, I can't be..right?

Heathers pov:

After a short but swift walk back to the house, we arrive and go inside.

"What do you want to eat? I'll pay." Liam says.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Yeah!" He replies.

"Hmm...sushi." I say without even having to think for a minute.

"Alright, i'll order it now!" Liam says, going into the kitchen to order.

I turn on the TV and find something to watch. I just put on a random film and sit down. After a few minutes, Liam comes back into the room and sits down next to me. He puts his arm around me and I feel my face go warm.

"Blushing I see?" He says, smirking at me.

"What? Uh..No!" I say, getting flustered.

"I see." He says smirking again.

I hide my head in my hands and then I feel Liam lift my head up to face his. He leans down and kisses me and I kiss him back but it didn't feel right, it felt wrong. And I had no idea why.

"I'm sorry, I can't do this." I say getting up and going into the bathroom.

I walk into the bathroom and lock the door. I get my phone out to text Courtney.

Texts between Heather and Courtney:

H: court pls help

C: Why? What's up?

H: so i invited Liam over for dinner and he kissed me but it didn't feel right i felt guilty and idk why

C: haha! I know why!

H: why?

C: deep down you still like Alejandro and while you don't want to admit it, you do deep down somewhere

H: NO I DONT?

C: get rid of liam he's a waste of your time

H: i'm gonna

C: good

I put my phone back in my pocket and go back to see Liam.

"Are you alright?" Liam asks, a worried expression on his face.

"Can you go please." I say.

"We haven't eaten yet?" He replies confused.

"JUST- just go, please." I say.

"Okay then." He says as he gets up and leaves.

I sit down and cancel the food order. I replay in my mind what just happened and found tears forming in my eyes. I couldn't deal with this. I needed fresh air. I go down to the bench and take a seat.

"What am I doing." I say quietly as I bury my head into my hands.

Then, I feel a presence next to me.

"Heather..? Are you okay..?" A familiar voice asks.

I look up to see Alejandro, stood next to the bench, watching me.

"Oh, i'm fine." I say, wiping my tears and forcing a smile.

"No you're not." He says, sitting down next to me.

"Fine i'm not! I met this guy called Liam at the gym. He was sweet until he randomly kissed me and it made me uncomfortable and I feel like I always mess things up!" I say while crying.

"Oh, Heather." Alejandro says as he pulled me into a hug.
